NORTH BAY –Nipissing-Timiskaming MPP Jay Aspin had an extra reason to look forward to returning to his home riding for Remembrance Day events last weekend. A hockey-fan his entire life, Aspin was thrilled with recent news that the OHL Brampton Battalion would be relocating to North Bay.
“The Battalion is going to be huge for our community,” he said. “Bringing the OHL to North Bay is going help grow our local economy and help support local businesses. It will also revitalize the tradition of supporting a home town Junior A franchise.”
Part of the process to relocate the team involves selling 2,000 season tickets before Dec. 31.
“You know, this announcement has created quite a buzz on Parliament Hill ” said Aspin. “My colleagues in both southern Ontario and Northern Ontario are quite happy for us. In jest, I said I had better get back to North Bay before the seasons tickets were gone!”
Arriving bright and early last Friday morning at the North Bay Parks and Recreation Department, Aspin personally made sure his tickets were secured.
